establish q reputation for themselves ~ sluggers.
During the year which In now closing they have
done q great deal in the pugilistic line. Mr.. Maui
rice Barrymore and Robert q. Uilliard dis
tinguished themselves in q Montreal barroom
recently, while the actors engaged in Henleys
''Deacon Brodie" Company made an effective
record on Tuesday in Green's Hotel, Philadelphia.
Many actors have Nm idea that from the terrific
manner In which they succeed in staying a dozen
inonensive "supers" night after night, they are
endowed with the power OF q Sullivan. In most
rows, however, ~the.actor gets the worst of It. 1t is q
weli-known fact that one Of the principal leading
men stood on Twenty seventh street near Broad
way at 8 O'Clock in the morning and engaged In a
twenty minutes ring-nght on that thoroughfare,
in which both he and his opponent were severely
injured. Then the other day q manager entered
the ranks Of the pugilists, and Mr.. Gilmore made
his bow to the public with a barkeeper as an OPP
ponent.
The Chicago theatres are well represented in this
city at the present time by J. II. McvIcker, manager
Of Mcvickcr's Theatre; John A. Hamlin, OF the
Grand opera-House, and David Henderson,, OF the
Chicago opera-House. The absent manager Is
X. M. Hooley, and OF course he is the gentleman
whom New York theatrical men are most anxious
to see. The stock companies and dramatic organi-
cations are always glad to appear at Hooley's
Theatre.
